There is always that child that needs extra prayer. I talk with my son often these days. When things are tough for him at work, financially, etc., he calls me to talk about it. This gives me insight on how to pray for him and I appreciate hearing from him. I listen, give my two cents and remind him of God's hand on his life. I plead the Blood of Jesus over him and pray a hedge of protection around him and all that he has. Then I pray for favor with God and man. I pray for wisdom for my son in how to deal with difficult people and bullies. I pray the Holy Spirit will stand up in him (not a retaliatory or angry spirit) to lead and guide his actions. I pray he will be surrounded by godly people and that he recognizes those God would send to help him achieve the dream and goals God has given him. I hold on to my faith for a good outcome and I am patient to see God make the changes in his life.
I then remind myself of the specific answers to prayer that have come before- such as getting an affordable apartment in a safe neighborhood, a particular car he wanted, good jobs in his field, promotions, job changes, success on his jobs, a good friend, good health and confidence in God. All these things God has provided. There is an enemy of our souls that we must overcome and we must pray against that. We must recognize the strategies against us and win this supernatural fight using the weapons of warfare that God has given us. We must live in the Spirit.
Thank you Lord for taking care of my son, for putting that hedge of protection around him and giving him supernatural gifts of discernment, opening doors for him no man can shut and directing his path. Amen
